Hi Greg,

I believe that the ENL hardware is in every unit and it can be enabled
with a key - which can be purchased at an time for $100. But I am not
100% certain about that. I have sent an inquiry to find the precise
answer.

I need the ENL, so I'm very interested in the answer. It sounds like the
hardware cost for it is small, but maybe the development wasn't, and
this "key" is a way to recoup those costs from the people that need the
feature.

A thought on the various PowerFlarm versions: if you intend to loan your
unit to other people (as I intend to, e.g., to a contest pilot, or to
let other pilots see how it works), you probably want to get the
self-contained version.
